Omniscience & Proselytism

Most excellent!! Ill be there on Friday and missed the last release.

Always fun to have the pic on here

We’re excited to announce that when our tasting room opens this Friday, October 10th at 4pm, we’ll be releasing our second blend of Omniscience & Proselytism — our barrel-aged, wild beer refermented with strawberries. For our second blend of Omniscience & Proselytism, we sent mature, sour beer aged for months in oak barrels into a foudre filled with several hundred pounds of strawberries. We then allowed the wild yeast and bacteria in the beer to referment the sugars in the fruit to complete dryness. The result is a tart, dry beer with interesting flavors and aromas from the fruit, as well as the yeast and bacteria. We don’t add fruit to flavor filtered and/or pasteurized beer to make a “beer cooler”. Rather, we ferment the fruit in the same way wine grapes are fermented to make wine, so that the finished beer is something greater than the sum of the parts.

Unlike our first blend of Omniscience & Proselytism, which used local strawberries, this blend used strawberries from Oregon. We prefer to use local ingredients whenever possible. However, the quality of our beer comes first. Regardless of the source of strawberries, we continue to only use fresh or fresh/frozen fruit. We do not use fruit concentrates, extracts or flavorings in our beer.

Omniscience & Proselytism was brewed with Hill Country well water, barley, wheat, and hops. It was fermented with our house blend of microorganisms consisting of brewers’ yeast and naturally occurring wild yeast and bacteria we cultured from the land that surrounds our brewery in the Texas Hill Country. It is 5.3% alcohol by volume, 3.2 pH, and has a finishing gravity of 1.002 (0.5 degrees Plato). It is unfiltered, unpasteurized, and 100% naturally conditioned.

Our first blend of Omniscience & Proselytism, released in October of 2013, was only available by the glass at our brewery. Our second blend will be available to go in 500ml bottles, as well as by the glass. Aside from a few special events, Omniscience & Proselytism will be exclusively available at Jester King Brewery. Roughly 3,000 bottles are available, and the bottle limit (500ml, $16) is one per customer per day.

 

I will miss the first weekend due to ACL. So, happy that it will likely last to the second.

 

I bet this will be pouring at the Moth for the Halloween event Oct 31st.

 

Blueberry might be out by then too.

 

im debating going friday, but that ACL traffic ughh

 

Surprisingly traffic wasn't bad last Friday if you avoided Lamar. I was out at Jester King Friday evening and just had the normal Friday afternoon traffic. More traffic will be going out of town this weekend Friday (Texas/OU).

 

I'll be there on Sat for damn sure!

Hell YES!

 

Yeah, Im thinking it might be the Blueberry, since the event blurb mentioned 'yet to be released or announced'. Got my tickets... Just don't know if it would be ready by then. I'll enjoy either though. And with Prairie Balcones added, it's gonna be fun... Great lineup.

 

Wait. Is there going to be a small, inconspicuous mark or no?

 

Damn, I wish these weren't all happening this month. I've wanted this one the most, looks like I'll have to miss it.

 

damn these 1 bottle limits.

 

My family and friends are becoming increasingly annoyed with my phone calls But its a great times every weekend we end up there...

But glad they last multiple weekends. This years atrial and Nocturn were so easy to get a couple extra to drink throughout the year. And the batch sizes are increasing. Things look good for Texas sour fans

 

yup, as batch sizes increase, i wish the limits would as well. i might have to bring some AR to trade for O&P lol.

 

We set the limit at 1 so that this batch would last about a month or so at our tasting room. We'd like to always have at least one barrel-aged sour beer refermented with fruit available.

 

I like 1 bottle limits.

Just saying. I want to know that I do not need to rush out there to get it.

 

I will be drinking my fill of this very soon. Can't wait!

 

This beer fucking rules. Really looking forward to trying it again.

 

I'm looking forward to trying this beer for the first time since what I was poured last year at the beginning of the day at last years FnS fest was apparently not O&P.
